Delph said the presence of England's all-time leading goalscorer had been a boost to the squad.

"He [Sancho] must be astonished to be standing on the same pitch as Wayne Rooney," he said.

"A lot of those young lads would've been watching him as a young kid, watching him score all those amazing goals, break all the records he has broken. For them to be sharing a pitch with him, it gives you that extra boost.

"You get to see someone that has been there and done it. It gives you the motivation to try follow in his footsteps."
